Thanks to everyone that represented ASKJ today in the Elkhorn Days Parade! As always, it was a great time!

ASKJ will be closed on Saturday, May 30th, as we will be walking in the Elkhorn Days Parade at 10:30am. Students/instructors are invited to walk with us in the parade. Students walking with us should meet us on the parade route around 10:15am and wear their uniforms or an ASKJ t-shirt.

All minors walking with us need to be picked up on 205th and Corby St. (near Uptown Java) when we walk by at the end of the route. We will email a map of the parade route and our position in the parade next week.

Black Belts are invited to meet at ASKJ at 9:30am to carpool to the parade.
We hope to see you there!
